Products for equipment manufacturers
Deployment proven products for enterprise and telco solutions
The competitive landscape
Equipment manufacturers are synonymous with telecommunications equipment manufacturers (TEMs) and network equipment providers (NEPs). Undeniably, some pioneering Aculab customers compete very well with the Tier 1 vendors (the likes of Avaya, Ericsson, Huawei or Siemens) with a range of standards-based communications platforms.
TEMs and platform developers offer core network elements and service nodes for carriers (a.k.a. telcos and service providers) and operators. Collectively, they develop a multitude of service delivery platforms; from unified communications and IP contact centres, to media servers and IP-PBXs (call/communications managers), as well as SS7 network nodes (SCPs, SM-SCs, or HLRs), for IP, PSTN and mobile networks. Their enterprise customers come from: SME/SMB; Fortune 500; global 1000 organisations; and many other large, distributed or multi-national organisations.
Enabling technology adoption
Equipment manufacturers are challenged by the emergence of IP as the standard network of choice, and by the demand for shorter development cycles and smarter deployment. With the expectation of significant cost reduction and time-to-market improvement from using standards-based communications servers, TEMs are now, more than ever, likely to adopt enabling technologies.
They are also seeking significant improvements in project development costs and in cost-effectiveness from choice of components. An inflection point has been reached and the trends have been validated; there is no Tier 1 vendor today that does not offer a portfolio of fully-integrated, open standards-based computing platforms, backed up by an extensive portfolio of professional services.
Meeting your technology needs
As a platform developer, you will need resilient and reliable media processing products to provide the low level access functionality managed by your high availability applications and middleware. Aculab's renowned enabling technologies can be the foundation for any service delivery platform in IP, PSTN and 3G networks, enabling you to focus on your unique application features.
You will need hardware, software, gateways, signalling stacks (SIP, SS7 and SIGTRAN) and APIs to design advanced and cost-effective multimedia systems for today's service oriented architecture. Without doubt, you will need a broad set of form factors, features and functionalities. Aculab has what it takes.
